UPDATE: The last PT Cruiser will roll off the production line today, Friday, in Toluca, Mexico.

Original Post: A couple weeks ago I read that I’ll never see a guy driving a PT Cruiser. Since then every time I see one, I look to see who’s driving …and yep… it’s a woman. Next time you see one…check out who’s driving it!

Kerpal Said,

Sure, I see more women than men driving PT Cruisers (But, there’s a simple explanation further into my comment). Then again, I see more women driving 2001+ Honda Civic coupes than men … hhmmmmmm … which is the more girly car? Survey Says, “Civic”. Oops, that must really chafe the men who like to drive Civics.

Some men don’t have the testosterone to dare to be different. Nope, they’d sooner buy their trucks or rice racers for A to B. Notice most men don’t drive ‘soccer mom’ mini-vans, it’s the social stigma attached to a mini-van. For shame, a mini-van is a pretty handy vehicle. A PT Cruiser is pretty much a mini-van and redneck men don’t play that.

Vehicles are overrated, they are simply mechanical things to get you where you need to go. My old little car has road war wounds, some of which never healed, but that crap can has never let me down … thanks Cavalier for $1G, I never spent less money on something so darn good. That Crapalier may look poor on me or maybe it suits me well depending on who’s checking me out at red lights, but I can tell you that my wallet is thicker nonetheless – it’s so nice to have something bought and paid for instead of monthly bills for something that depreciates every year. Hhahaa!

Rick Said,

I’d say it has less to do with testosterone, and more to do with aesthetics. Most guys would think it is an ugly car so not buy it. There are lots of guys who drive mini-vans. My wife refuses to ever buy a mini-van because we don’t want to become like “those” people.
